While I didn’t know Will as much as his wife, Angela, I know how hard this has been for those who loved him and it for them I pray that God’s peace would come to them right now and help them make it through the hard times of grieving.

What a beautiful soul you were. Hard working, loving,fun, funny, and strong. I know you’re with Jesus now, my friend. I will keep trying to live that American dream you believed in so strongly, and you keep enjoying your well deserved rest till we meet again. Knowing you was a great privilege.
